SYSTEME DE REFROIDISSEMENT POUR UNE PILE ELECTROCHIMIQUE A COMBUSTIBLE

摘要

A cooling system 24 for an electrochemical cell stack 12 is disclosed. Various construction details which avoid plugging of the cooling system during long term operation with a cooling fluid having dissolved species and suspended particles, such as water, are discussed. The cooling system includes spaced apart cooler assemblies 30. Conduits 32 for supplying cooling fluid to the cooler assemblies include sets of cooling tubes 74 in serial flow communication.
